Saying Goodnight When I Should Say Goodbye

POEM " SAYING GOODNIGHT WHEN I SHOULD SAY GOODBYE " by martin gedge To sit here in silence and stare into dark should I follow my head or follow my heart I've been through the trials the thick and the thin I've tried walking out but you dragged me back in I can't keep a secret or hold onto a lie by saying goodnight when I should say goodbye you can call me a fool for the way that I feel but I'm not into faking so I'm keeping it real there are no more questions and I've made up my mind you have all the answers stop wasting my time what more do you need is it closure you seek so little words spoken and your posture is weak we are all out of focus and our goals aren't the same we can't keep on pointing when we both share the blame it's a road too much traveled and we needed to bend through the highs and the lows and the bumps never end there is more to look forward then back in the past though a future uncertain I know we can't last so we pick up the pieces and we hold in each part of what is left broken as we blow out the spark and closing the door with all the feelings curbside I stick out my thumb and wait for my ride not one second guessing that our love was a test I knew what was right and I did what was best... by martin gedge©
